Why do I get the feeling Raze was able to say more, and more effectively, than I was able to in my entire rant post?
Not really....sure a woman could do all that without meaning romantic love but this isn't a woman....it's a character designed to a specific purpose and when all those features are so accentuated nobody will look at this and think "Ooooh they're gonna be best buds!!!" not in western culture where you'll catch more than a few shifty looks if two men hold hands....that's just the reality we live in not a speech about what it could technically be and political correctness. And again there's every possible parallel with the other widely known story of Original Sin. I'm not seeing anything in Raze's comment I haven't addressed a dozen times over....sure things *could* be interpreted a different way but it's blatantly obvious that wasn't the perception and assumptions Larian were trying to instigate. So they have painted themselves in a corner with this I think.
There's going to be a lot of fun reading around here if Larian end up having to explain how we totally misinterpreted everything and how they totally didn't mean romance.
